Berlin teen part of Canadian domino effort

Brian Amici, of Berlin, and another domino toppler were hired by a firm in Montreal, Canada, to create a 25,000 domino display.

According to Brian's mother, Teresa Amici, the display went off without a hitch.

Brian, 16, is a sophomore at the Francis W. Parker Charter Essential School. He and Lily Hevesh were hired by three companies through Lily's YouTube channel.

Lily asked Brian to join her as the project was too big for one person and she did not have the quantity of dominoes needed for this large projects, Teresa Amici said. Lily lives in New Hampshire.

The significance of "25" - hence 25,000 dominoes - was to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Opération Enfant Soleil, a non-profit organization that raises funds for social health projects for children in Quebec. The little girl who pushed the first domino that starts the event is their spokesperson.

Brian has been setting up and toppling dominoes for many years. By 13, he held a Guinness Book of World Records title for the tallest domino structure, at 10-feet tall.

Lily, who is also a filmmaker and has several Youtube videos on her domino projects, has been building dominoes since early 2009.
